Unfortunately, however, new claims suggest that the group has faced unprecedented brutality from Belorussian authorities, where they had been protesting dictator/President Alexander Lukashenko's reelection last year (video of the protest below is NSFW).

“We were blindfolded and put into a bus,” the group member told the group, (translation from RT). “Then they took us to the woods, poured oil over us, forced us to undress – threatening to set fire to us or stab us with knives. They later used those knives to cut our hair.”

The protestors were left in the forest and had to make their way to a nearby village by foot, where they are still reportedly hiding.

Belarus has denied the accusations, while the Ukrainian embassy in Belarus tells the BBC they are sending a diplomat to the region to investigate.
